Oh my.... Wow. What a thrill! Definitely will take you on a ride with this suspense novel. I have not read any novels by Sarah Strohmeyer, so I was excited to start this one and definitely happy I was able to read it. Go read this one if you like a thrill!

I liked the storyline and the characters were definitely believable. I thought the characters were relateable. I would definitely try another book by this author.

Hmmm... I’m being generous with four stars as this was a quick read. Probably closer to a 3.5. I found the premise of the main character as a “super recognizer” to be intriguing. And I didn’t really see the ending coming. But the middle of the story got a bit muddled and all over the place. But I suppose that’s how Jane felt during all of this, too. Lol! I felt like the plot line of Shelia, Dave, and Erik, along with the guy, Rick was left a bit unfinished. Overall, a decent mystery/vacation read.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

Jane has a special talent. She is a “super recognizer”. She can recognize someone by the slightest of details.
.
When her sister is missing and presumed dead she swears she recognizes the woman she thinks is guilty.
.
This psychological thriller is multi layered giving whiplash with every page!

Thank you @harperperennial for an advanced copy

Hard to decide if I was just reading this book at the wrong time or if it just wasn't for me. I found it difficult to connect with the characters and most of the conversation felt forced to me. Found it to be an interesting and unique story idea but execution was a bit off for me.

Such a suspenseful read. This definitely had my anxiety going! I feel like the main characters drove me nuts tho.. which may have been the point. The people that Jane had surrounded herself with were all maddening. Constantly making her out to be crazy. This kind of irks me in books when they make the main character out to be just out of her mind and make them question themselves. Sometimes i feel like it mocks mental illness. They’re not crazy, people are just manipulative.

I feel like i knew part of the twist but not all of it, which was cool but i just found it kind of frustrating at the same time. It just seemed unnecessary in the end. All the years of anguish for nothing.

I enjoyed the story & it definitely kept me wanting to keep turning pages but i struggled with the predictability & the frustrating characters.

A thriller story of two women connected by a tragedy in their youth and fates collide a decade late. Suspenseful with an innovative twist, not your typical mystery/thriller. Gripping, page turner- dark and twisted. An engaging and entertaining read.

Jane has an interesting ability. She can see a person's face once, and if she sees you again, in a month or ten years, she will recognize you. The story begins as Jane is working at Logan Airport, using her talent to identity arrivals who might be a threat to national security. However, her assignment flies right out the window when she sees Bella, the last person to see her sister Kit over ten years ago. Kit is presumed dead, but Jane wants answers only Bella can provide. The scene Jane causes leads to her unemployment and the chance to pursue Bella and the truth.
Jane's ability was a unique concept, but the story veered so far away from how it began, with so many different characters, plotlines, and suspects, that I lost interest in the middle of the book. Then the build-up to the conclusion moved at lightning speed, and I was back in the game. But then, darn it, I was not a fan of the ending.
It wound up being an okay read for me with so many twists, but somehow it just lacked something for me.

Do I Know You is a fun, fast-paced thrilling romp of a book. Some of the plots are a little convoluted, but if you can call up some willful suspension of disbelief, you’ll be fine. The ending ties things up well, and it’s a good adult mystery with older teen appeal.

Do I Know You? is a page turner with a unique premise. I loved the twists and turns – many I didn’t see coming and the ones I did still had me wondering. Jane is a delight to read. I admire her commitment to undercovering the mystery of who killed her sister. The plot is well developed and the pace right on target.The supporting characters are strong. Do I Know You? kept me rapt from beginning to end. I highly recommend reading it.

🌟🌟🌟/5

Do I Know You? was published this week! Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Perennial and Paperbacks for this e-ARC.

Jane is a super recognizer. Meaning she can identify people's faces even from years and years back. The story begins with Jane recognizing a familiar face from the night her sister died at the beach 11 years ago..

The synopsis is what made we want to read this book - it was very intriguing, especially the super recognizing abilities of Jane. But the book itself just fell short. The beginning of the story was great and almost gripping. It had so much potential for it to be close to 5 stars. Jane's super recognizing abilities were mostly used in the beginning of the book, but then only once or twice throughout the entire story. I wished the story fully focused on her special abilities and would have been used more often.

This is still a good psychological thriller, but it’s missing more of the thrill for me.

I have been a Sarah Strohmeyer fan for many years now! I was so excited to read her newest book, Do I Know You? It's a completely different genre for her and it was a thrilling read! We journey along with Jane to decipher what the heck is happening in her life now and what happened to her sister who went missing many years ago. This was a real page turner and I don't want to give too much away...

Thank you to Harper Paperbacks and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Damn, Sarah! I see you! 👀

Clever plot.

Likable main character (with a perfect dose of unreliable narration).

Beautiful atmosphere.

Other characters you’ll love to hate.

Frustrations you could relate to, and (hopefully) other horrors you can’t.

And so many twists & turns you don’t see coming. I was hooked right up to the very end.

With so many thrillers out there trying so hard with a million POVs, this one had a nice linear story —but there was nothing simple about the ending!

Sarah is a master storyteller and I can’t wait to read her other work. Highly recommend you pick up for a future #thrillerthursday or hey, it’s Cyber Monday! 👏🏼

Do I Know You? by Sarah Strohmeyer is a psychological thriller who follows Jane in her journey to find what truly happened to her sister who went missing when she was younger. Jane is a super recognizer, which means that once she sees you-- she never forgets your face. When she sees Bella, the woman who was with her sister that fatal night when she went missing, she will stop at nothing to find out what happened to her sister, Kit. But what do you do when Bella is about to be apart of a powerful and wealthy family-- the kind that has secrets of their own to hide.

I really enjoyed the super recognizer premise of this book. That was a new concept to me-- one that I have never read about before. It also made for the main character, Jane, to be an unreliable narrator at times-- which I love in my thrillers. It makes for an interesting read when you are unsure who to believe in the story.

I always like a book that has different perspectives. It adds a different layer when you can get into the other character’s minds. One of the aspects that was a little confusing was that not all the chapters were labeled with who’s perspective it was from. It just made it harder to figure out who you were reading about and made it so you had to read a few paragraphs before realizing whose story you were reading.

There were also many twists and turns throughout this story, especially at the end. I definitely did not see the ending coming. I was shook.

One thing that I am unsure about is the entire marriage between Bella and Will. They kind of left that a bit unanswered. Did Will really love her? Or is he planning on killing her and taking the shares to the company, which is why he didn’t really rip up the prenup? Is he going to kill Bella and marry Megan? It felt like that was a pretty huge storyline and kind of the point of Bella and Megan’s perspectives in the book, but it felt a little unresolved for me there.

Overall though, I really enjoyed this book. There were aspects to this thriller that were new to me and twist and turns throughout.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Do I Know You is Jane’s story to find out what happened to her sister, Kit. When the girls were teenagers Kit was killed and everyone thinks it was her fault. Jane is convinced a power family, the Pease’s, played a part in Kit’s death. Meanwhile the Pease family has a lot of secrets running a very successful business and a son marrying his adopted sister.

This book started out fast and kept going. Jane is determined to prove the Pease family’s guilt. The Pease family will do anything to keep there public image impeccable, including turning on their own behind closed doors.

I did not see the ending coming. The last two chapters explain a lot about what happened and I was extremely surprised who the guilty parties are. This is a definite add to your TBR pile!

I honestly am not sure how I feel about this book. The main character, Jane, was interesting. Her job at the beginning of the book was interesting, but past that, I didn't have much feeling for her. I did think that some information about her came out randomly, almost like it was only there to give a possible twist to the story. Some of the other characters were completely unlikeable. There was a relationship between characters that was never discussed or continued past the initial introduction that had me wondering what the point of that part of the story was. However, with all of these things, the story and mystery about Jane's sister was intriguing. I was curious to know what happened. This part of the book was what hooked me. Overall, the book was okay. Thank you NetGalley and Harper Perennial for a digital arc of this title.

Jane Ellison hasn’t recovered from the disappearance and presumed death of her sister, Kit, several years earlier. It doesn’t help that her boyfriend, Erik, and others chide her for her obsession.

A “super recognizer” with a remarkable gift for remembering faces, Jane works for DHS at Logan Airport until she sees two familiar faces—people who were involved with Kit the summer of her disappearance. They’re also fabulously wealthy and influential, so when Jane publicly accuses them, she loses her job.

Jane can’t stop herself from going to the Cape the weekend of the couple’s wedding. Even hampered by unexpected babysitting duties, Jane manages to investigate Kit’s disappearance. But who is the mystery man who seems to be following her? And who can she really trust?

A psychological thriller with lots of twists, this book is a page turner. Jane is a sympathetic character and the reader will love hating the Peases. I’ve been a Sarah Strohmeyer fan since her Bubbles days. #DoIKnowYou #NetGalley

This book started a bit slow for me, but it got faster as it went along, speeding towards a great ending. It was a pretty exciting ride!

Jane is a super recognizer - she’s one of the rare people who are actually better than computers when it comes to facial recognition. She works for Homeland Security at Logan Airport in Boston, watching for suspicious people.

One day, she is told to go check out the passengers on a plane that has a VIP onboard. When the VIP deplanes, she sees that he is William Pease, model and part-heir to the Love & Pease lifestyle empire. Then she sees the woman on his arm, and breaks her cover. That woman was the last person seen with Jane’s deceased sister, Kit.

After losing her job for freaking out and accusing a VIP’s fiancée of murder in the middle of the airport, Jane starts digging on her own. That’s when we get into the meat of the story about a strange, incest-y family, a town ruined by opiates and the mystery of what happened to Kit.

The parts of the book talking about the Pease family reminded me so much of the weird family dynamics in V.C. Andrews books. A man marrying his adopted sister, while his stepsister looks on with jealousy? Odd, but they are an odd family, selling dubious “natural” products for massive profits (think Goop). Their part of the book was a bit over-dramatic, but Jane’s parts were fantastic.

Towards the end, speeding towards that finish, things really pick up and the reader is given a whole lot of information at one time. Maybe that could have been drawn out a bit, but it also made for a good ending. Overall, I really liked this nice, cozy thriller. Four stars for this dark and entertaining story.

(Thank you to Harper Perennial, Sarah Strohmeyer and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.)

Jane Ellison is a “super recognizer”, able to identify strangers by the slightest facial details. This skill makes her invaluable to Homeland Security where she works. But one day as she is working the airports as usual, she spots the person she believes responsible for her sister Kit’s disappearance and presumed death eleven years earlier, and causes a scene which gets her fired.
The book is told is alternating chapters between Jane, and the Pease family (who is the subject of Jane's obsession).. I am normally a fan of this author's books, but I did not enjoy this one as much as some of her other books. I felt like the storyline had me on an amusement park ride. It would go slow and my attention would wane, and then it would get really good and I would start to get invested in the characters, and then it would start slowing back down again. I felt like I had whiplash by the end of the book, and then the ending just felt really abrupt and I didn't feel closure at all. I am not saying this was a bad book... don't get me wrong. I just didn't feel like it was her best work.

So it's been a number of years since I've read Sarah Strohmeyer. When I do read her, I normally read Bubbles. This is a lot different from those books. Which isn't a bad thing, but I do have to say I didn't enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed the books I read when I was younger. Not sure if that's because I've matured or her writing has, but either way, there you have it. This book follows Jane, who has super recognition and a missing/dead sister. She's doing her job recognizing people at Logan airport when she sees a familiar face - the woman who she last saw as a girl, standing over her sister's body, telling her to go. This sets off a chain of dominos that no one knows where it will end. I do have to say I enjoyed this book for the most part. I would have enjoyed it a lot more but a lot, and I mean A LOT, of the characters were unlikeable. I think this was absolutely the author's intent, but here it almost backfires. To the point where if I didn't have a review copy of this book I probably wouldn't have finished it. The author also employed an "everything but the kitchen sink" finish, and threw a lot of action into the last 5% of the book. If that kind of action had been paced through the rest of the book I think I would have enjoyed it more. However, the actual writing style was great. 3.5 stars rounded down.
